One Direction Might Be Reuniting In 2020 And Twitter Has Lost It

Directioners, rejoice! It appears that 1D might save 2020!

On day 1,580 since One Direction went on hiatus, band member Liam Payne announced on social media that the lads are planning something special to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the band’s formation.

‘We’ve got a ten-year anniversary coming up, so we’ve all been speaking together a lot over the last few weeks, which has been really nice.”

He continued: “To hear a lot of people’s voices and [see] old content and different things that we haven’t seen for a long time or [have] never seen before, it’s very interesting.”

Sadly Liam didn’t provide too many details (because this could be the biggest thing since the band’s formation on July 23rd, 2010), but he did hint that fans could expect “a number of different things” from the group.

And of course, the reaction online has been explosive, to say the least. Proud fans sprang back into action, showing their support, sharing excitement, and bringing back old memories from our teenage years.

And of course, people are making the most creative video compilations, and they’re giving us the feels.

THERES NOTHING LEFT I USED TO CRY MY INSPIRATION HAS RUN DRY AND THATS WHATS GOING ON NOTHINGS FINE IM TORN, IM ALL OUT OF FAITH THIS IS HOW I FEEL IM COLD AND IM ASHAMED LYING NAKED ON THE FLOOR #OneDirection2020pic.twitter.com/WaHgiYxQlv

You know, this is probably what’s going to happen, but I’ll never let my optimism fade!

Sadly, I don’t think we’ll get many details for quite some time, but Liam’s announcement is a little bit of light during this dark time. It’s also unsure if Zayn Malik will return, since he was the first member to leave the band in the middle of their tour in early 2015. Hopefully he’ll come back because it’s not a true reunion if the fab 5 aren’t together.

Since their hiatus, all five One Direction members have released at least one album each (Harry Styles and Niall Horan both just released their second respective albums) and continue to dominate charts and award shows. Louis Tomlinson has also been photographed with his former bandmates at professional events and has spoken fondly of his days as a “boy bander.”

Regardless of whether or not the band reunites, we should all appreciate Liam Payne for bringing One Direction to our lives, even if it’s only for a night. But we’re all looking forward to what this summer has to offer!
